No metal support in the middle, but I don't think that you need to buy one. The weight of the bed should really be resting on the legs of the bed frame that the headboard is attached to....not resting on the legs of the head board.

There is no center support but we found IF you install properly and have the frame end supports firmly ON the floor it is quite sturdy.

I do not think it would be a good idea since what supports the top part has supports, but I think the best thing to do is call the manufacturer and ask them-

You might want to ask EZ shelf. They are pretty easy to get a hold of. The way I have mine setup, no, you need a back wall for the center support. And I'm pretty sure that's what they will tell you, but you can see what they say. There are configurations (for a few more dollars) if you just have a back wall but no side walls.

The bottom of the horizontal support. Actually, you can see that if you will look closely at the picture. This is a quality product. I have two - a four by eight and a four by four. Go for it. You will not regret it. Not a single piece of needed hardware was missing, by the way.

The two previous answers cover it ...I had a heck of a time with middle ring...my brother helped me..also make sure the support at the base is tight

It definitely needs some kind of support. It is NOT designed to be free standing.

If I remember correctly -- it does not include a support system. You have to buy that separately

does not have cross brace in the middle. frankly there does need seem to be a need for it. there are legs in the middle that can be seen in the product image, but from extensive use so far the middle has not sagged.

I called the company and they said it is perfectly fine to do it in the middle of the wall, but yes, you will need to order additional angle brackets for support.

Don't know if its aluminum but there is substantial support you don't need to worry about sagging

Yes, there are 2 pre-cut holes with metal supports. I'm sure you could use a bit of 3M command tape to hold it up if you want. Though I'm not sure how well it would work.

Yes additional support is needed. The first ones were recalled. The ones on the market are improved.do not buy a used one.unless you know it is not the old recalled one.

There are two stays that you put in the upper section. One set is metal for firm support and the other is plastic for flexible support.

Hi, it only has two supports. I'm pretty big also and have found it to be very strong.

Not sure what you mean about middle support bar. The top and bottom bunks has many bars that runs under the mattress.It is made out of metal and it is heavy.This is a well made set. My grandson swings off the top bunk to the bottom one.
